Chihuahua puppies for new home
Chihuahua, JohannesburgThe original small dog, the Chihuahua, has no real specifications as regards its height, which could be anywhere between six and ten inches or in some cases go up to even 15 inches. However, with respect to weight, experts believe that the Chihuahua should not be more than six pounds. British breeders feel that the average weight of a Chihuahua should ideally be between 2 and 4 pounds.
With the figures regarding weight and height out of the way, it is time to describe the Chihuahua that can be best described as having a longer body in comparison to its height. Well rounded apple shaped head, short muzzle and pointed stop describes the broad facial features of this breed. This breed has a soft spot on its head, called the molera, which disappears once they grow up into adults. The Chihuahua has round eyes that are set apart, large and are dark, ruby or light in color. Ears are large and erect and are far apart that tend to flair to the sides when the dog is in a relaxed mood. The Chihuahua has a long tail, which is sickle shaped and is either curled over the back or the side. The feet are dainty and small and have well split toes.
